Dover Castle

Dover CastleMany of our visitors have enjoyed a day out to Dover Castle. With an amazing history stretching from Roman times, through to WWII it is well worth a days visit. There are a labyrinth of secret wartime tunnels built deep in the White Cliffs of Dover. Walk through the rooms where Sir Admiral Ramsay planned the “miracle of Dunkirk” and tour the underground hospital. Above ground, check out one of Europe’s best-preserved Roman lighthouses, explore the towering keep with its spectacular views across the channel and its recreation of King Henry VIII’s.

As well as the permanent attractions, there are also school holiday activities for children, and music at the castle every sunday in June. For more information please check out the English Heritage website.. Dover Castle is only 20 minutes from Elmfield.

English Heritage have several other castles nearby including Deal and Walmer Castles (Approximatley 40 minutes away)
